No, the world doesn't need a bunch of swinging big dick Harry's fighting against drugs and terror. Brawn against brawn doesn't work. To many go get them cowboy types that have seen to many Hollywood movies. Need thinking calm people not guns blazing.

Yes, as 'Black Water' under US Military control and accountability, but NOT for 'War Against Drugs' in the United States.

Is Blackwater under US military control and accountability? I'm pretty sure that they worked for the State Department (Condie Rice) and are accountable to no one but her.

Yes.

Decriminalize drugs and we won't need the SWAT Gestapo to fight Drug Lords. Federally funded SWAT teams in every local community, regardless of size, is another example of our government using fear to justify taking away our rights under the Constitution. Countless cases are reported (Google: SWAT mistake), even in the mainstream press, of illegal, warrantless searchs, resulting in innocent deaths by these quasi-military police. Picture Barney Fife with an Uzi. If that doesn't put chills in you and you really believe that turning American towns into front-line battlegrounds, accepting collateral damage (a euphemism for dead civilian) as a necessary evil to combat drug use, then I suggest you revisit the issue. Drugs don't kill innocent people (you generally choose to use). SWAT teams do.

I think that yes it is necessary for SWAT teams to organized like that. Drug dealers are very dangerous and they will do anything to protect their so-called "Business affairs."

The 'War on Drugs' is a farce.
